Bristol Rovers vs Bury: Preview and Predictions

The new run of three subsequent has made life super hard for Bury and their fans. The Shakers now sit at the very foot of the league ladder being as many as ten points shy of the safe zone. Given they only have eight games left to play until the end of the campaign, it’s clear that they are one foot into the fourth tier of the English football.

Ryan Lowe took charge of the Shakers two months ago, but he has failed to shift the course of the season for them ever since. The most recent of failures happened on Saturday when Bury fell 0-2 at home to the promotional contenders Wigan Athletic. The Shakers have only scored a single goal in last three games and they generally own the league’s worst attacking record (31 goals in 38 games so far in the season).

The clash with the rock-bottomed side should give an opportunity for Bristol Rovers to arrest their current slump in form. The hosts are winless in last three games which have seen them ship five goals in the process. Darrell Clarke’s men still hope of catching up with the likes of Peterborough United who are six points away at the sixth place (leading to the promotional playoffs).

Bristol Rovers vs Bury: Head-to-head

Goals are guaranteed on Friday at Memorial Stadium if we are to judge by the most recent history of H2H games between these two sides.

Last four H2H games between the two teams have offered the total of 17 goals (something above four per game).

Overall, Bristol Rovers have won 6, drawn 3 and lost just 1 of 10 home clashes with the Shakers.

Bristol Rovers vs Bury: Prediction

Bury have really been struggling badly throughout the entire season and we can hardly ignore the 1.90 odds offered by the bookies for the home win bet here.

Alternatively, we’ll back Bristol Rovers to net two or more goals at the same 1.90 odds.
